Gears of War 2 will be celebrating this Labor Day weekend with another Double XP weekend. Here is Epic's quote:
 
" Got plans for this Labor Day weekend? Cancel them, because you’re going to be busy gearing up for battle in a Gears 2 multiplayer double XP event! From September 4 through 8, earn double experience for all games, plus an experience bonus of 500 for the winning team in a Public competitive multiplayer match. Plus, in Horde, matches default to Hardcore difficulty, with every tenth wave populated entirely by Sires. Get ready for action!"
 
I don't know about you guys but I take complete advantage of the double XP. I'll be playing Gears all of those 4 days.
 

Great. Fantastic.
 
More stupid XP for a stupid XP system.

who still plays that online? Last time I tried too play it it took roughly 40 minutes to find a game of wingman

 Cool. I'll play at some point and try to make it to 50. 

I'm trying to make it to 55, I think I'm also going to get the Dark Corners DLC as well.
